01:30So, who's going to start in which lane?
01:31Let's find out.
01:32First up today, this guy doesn't sled.
01:34He slays.
01:35He's more cha-cha-cha than ho-ho-ho.

12:50But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in their tracks.
12:57When our celebrities are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged
13:02to tell them they're in the end zone and approaching the festive finish line.
13:07The celebrity who doesn't reach the festive finish line is out.
13:12See, there's nothing to worry about. It's as easy as that.
13:15Just don't come last or you're off the show.
13:17Okay.
13:18Remember, guys, this is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.

36:22Mark, any final words for your opponent?
